Employee Benefits

One of the best things about working for a pet company is the ability to interact with pets as a part of your job. We also offer some pretty great benefits.

Field Employees (Dog Walkers, Pet Sitters, Seasonal Help)

These positions are typically part-time.

• 15% Discount on retail purchases at Fur-Get Me Not.
• Free use of the Dog Wash for standard 30 minute washes.
• 10% off Dog Training classes and private training.
• 40% off base pet-sitting rates (Note: there are no discounts for regular dog walking services or the holiday premium that is charged for Pet Sitting visits conducted during Holidays / Holiday Weekends. We offer pet sitting discounts for when employees travel).
• Half-Day Daycare rates for a full day of dog daycare (Note: all employee dogs are subject to passing the same evaluation as clients prior to being allowed in daycare or boarding as well as the same capacity restrictions/availability as clients).
